Jacksonville Jaguars' LaRoy Reynolds (56) and J. T. Thomas (52) celebrate as they leave the field after they defeated the Tennessee Titans 29-27 in an NFL football game on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013, in Nashville, Tenn.

The notion that Jaguars linebacker LaRoy Reynolds was keeping the Otto spot warm for Dekoda Watson until he returned hasn't proven to be true.

Watson practiced for the second consecutive day on Monday after recovering from groin surgery. However, Reynolds appears to remain ahead of him. Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Reynolds has done a nice job finding his place at the Otto position.

"Now, Dekoda is back, so he needs to stay in that zone and keep doing what he's doing," Bradley said. "He keeps learning. The good thing about LaRoy is if it shows up in the game, you see the next game if it happens to him, he does it better. But that's definitely a really good position for him. I think we're set on that as a staff. That's a really good fit for him at that position."

Reynolds is an example of how much can change in the NFL in one season. In camp last season, Reynolds was fighting to make the team as an undrafted free agent. Now, he has the inside track to start the regular-season opener at Philadelphia on Sept. 7.

"I'm extremely blessed to be in the position I'm in and I'm grateful for that," Reynolds said. "I prided myself in the offseason in maturing and learning how to be a pro. I think it's translating over. I can't revel in what's going good. I can't worry about what I did wrong. I have to keep learning."
